CFTC to Host Cryptocurrency CEO Forum to Discuss Digital Asset Market Pilot Program

On December 11, Sanders—head of fixed income at Madison Investment Company—said in a report that the ongoing steepening of the U.S. yield curve underscores a key point: monetary policy has limited impact on the market. Sanders noted: “Policy shifts can move the front end of the yield curve significantly, but longer-term structural issues—including above-target inflation and a massive fiscal deficit—will keep pressuring the back end.” He added that Fed Chair Powell’s acknowledgment of softness in the labor market quickly spurred bond buying, reversing initial selling pressure on U.S. Treasuries and driving the yield curve to steepen. Madison expects the Fed’s further easing pace to slow from here, with rates likely on hold through Q2 2026. (FXStreet)
